I went ahead and set up the Benz Micro Glider L. It plays at a lower volume than the Dynavector 10x5. The Moon LP 3 has a maximum gain setting of 60db. There are two options for capacitance setting, 0pf and 100pf. There is no difference in volume between these. What role does the capacitance setting play?
high versus low output
I have been getting back into vinyl the last few months after getting rid of my turntable and records about 28 years ago. I currently have a Rega P5 with a Dynavector 10x5 high output cartridge. I use a Simaudio LP3 phono stage. A friend of mine just upgraded from a Benz Micro Glider L2 low output cartridge to something else. He said I could try the Glider with my P5 if I wanted.
What are the differences between a low output and high output cartridge? What are the advantages and disadvantages of one or the other in terms of sound and phono preamp usage?
I attempted to search the Audiogon discussions but wasn't able to find a thread that gave me a clear answer.
